I bought a bottle of Louisiana Supreme Chicken Wing Hot Sauce at a $1 store (out of town) and now we put it on everything we eat. It lights up your taste buds and creates ISR (instant salivatory response!) We’re using it in droplets because we don’t want to finish it. Desperate to find more.

Fabulous aromatic bunches of basil at the farmer’s market at Grand Army Plaza. Bought some and made soupe au pistou (inspired by lunch at the home of Diana Carulli and Bryan Dunlap over Labor Day).

Delicious meatballs from Agata & Valentina at a cocktail reception for Arts Horizons at Celeste Holm’s apartment. Arts Horizons is a wonderful non-profit that brings the arts to city schools in the tri-state area.
